Prince William and Prince Harry say goodbye to Bryn Parry
In their grief, Prince William, 40, and Prince Harry, 38, who recently made headlines due to their broken relationship, are united. The heir to the British throne tweeted a heartbreaking farewell to Bryn Parry, author, cartoonist and co-founder of the non-profit organization Helping for Heroes, who has died at the age of 67. William writes, “I am deeply saddened by the passing of Bryn Parry. He was a life-affirming, inspirational man whose work with @HelpforHeroes made a difference to so many people and his legacy will be his lasting impact. My thoughts are with his family and friends. W.”
Prince Harry also paid tribute to Parry’s work and said on Twitter via his “Invictus Games Foundation”, among other things: “Today is a really sad day for the military community as we say goodbye to a man who, together with his wife, runs the British charity sector for the benefit of those who served. Together with his wife, Bryn Parry was responsible for changing the landscape of support for wounded, injured and ill service members and veterans in the UK.”

Queen Camilla could receive criticism for this – also from William
The coronation of King Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 75, will take place in Westminster Abbey in just a few weeks. The preparations are already in full swing and, in addition to the majority of the guest list, some details about the ceremony are now known. Below is the scepter that the Queen Consort will use on May 6th. This consists of ivory and is therefore extremely controversial.
Nevertheless, Buckingham Palace recently confirmed that it will be used. Camilla should not only receive criticism from animal rights activists, but also from her stepson Prince William, 40. After all, the Prince of Wales, like his brother Prince Harry, 38, has been fighting poaching for years and is explicitly committed to stopping the illegal trade in animal parts such as ivory.

Lady Sophie took her children from Prince George’s old school
Sophie Winkleman, 42, the wife of Lord Frederick Windsor, 44, has taken their daughters Maud, 9, and Isabella, 7, among others from Thomas’s Battersea School – the school that once also housed their relatives Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, attended. The reason: The former actress is said to have had serious concerns when she found out that her children were using iPads at school.
“I immediately started looking for other schools. I’ve moved them twice now to get them out of tech-heavy schools,” she told the Sunday Times, adding, “The internet is a toxic wilderness through which we… let the children stumble unprotected.” She couldn’t understand the pressure for more digital learning – and finally put her words into action.
Prince Andrew: There was criticism on Easter Sunday
On Easter Sunday, the British royals traditionally gather in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. In addition to King Charles, 74, and his wife Queen Camilla, 75, his younger brother Prince Andrew, 63, also attended the service this year and entered the church immediately after the royal couple. That didn’t go down well with everyone, however, as Andrew continues to face criticism for his involvement in the Epstein scandal. Although he denies everything to this day, he still had to resign from his royal duties.

Appearances like this have been rare for Prince Andrew since then, and that’s exactly why he’s causing displeasure. One user wrote on Twitter: “I thought Charlie Boy [König Charles, Anm. d. Red.] would put those crooks down.” A harsh tone that alludes to the fact that the 63-year-old doesn’t like being seen at events like these. He’s even been accused of trying to sneak back into public life after attending the Party of the “Royal Victorian Order” attended, reports “Express.” Former MP Norman Baker also finds critical words and told “The Sun”: “[Andrew] is simply allowed to disguise himself as a king for a day when he is supposed to serve a long period of silence.”

Princess Charlotte must have learned that from her mother, Catherine, Princess of Wales
Princess Charlotte, 7, reveals just how much she resembles her mother, Catherine, Princess of Wales, 41, during Easter Sunday’s service at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. On the way out of the church, the duo looks happily at the cameras. While Kate waves beamingly into the lenses, Charlotte also dares her first attempts and waves as well. Although the little princess still seems quite reserved and only starts to wave shyly, it is clear that she is trying to orientate herself on her mother.

Prince William’s daughter, 40, already seems to know how to deal with the many photographers and is prepared for life in public. Always friendly, if still a bit reserved, she already knows how to behave in front of the cameras. The mother-daughter team also opts for similar looks in terms of looks and obviously feels at home in the blue looks.
